Germany and Lithuania also took a "defeat day" attitude towards victory day.

Choosing a different day for the holiday is reasonable. Making it a crime to respect Russia/USSR's overwhelming responsibility for Nazi defeat is dementia. In a better timeline, instead of resenting Russia for Stalin, you could recognize the peaceful deoccupation and independence granted in 90s. Ukrainian nazi resurgence by US was not done for the benefit of Ukrainian people, so the more hateful you are the stupider you are.

Recall that the occupation by Russia was NOT peaceful.

And the Ukrainian=Nazi thing is always so disingenuous when it is always the Azov group being pointed to when the most competent force that Russia was using was a full fledged Neo-nazi group.

Now, before you say that UKR was sided with Nazis in WWII, that seems more of a “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” situation in response to the harsh occupation of UKR by Russia at the time. And so much of the WORLD held antisemitism close to their hearts at the time on both sides, so that doesn’t really hold as Nazi sympathies.

And furthermore, Russia absolutely started this idiocy. I have had a friend murdered due to Russia not wanting UKR independent from them, so this is simply not just propaganda.
